Buy Back Old or Move On?


I am putting together my retirement system; it has to outlast me (20 years) or at least my hearing. I have an opportunity to purchase back my old Coda CSiB amp which is coming up 10 years old now and recapped in 2019.

I'll be into it for about $3,000 or so by the time it arrives on my door. It will drive KEF R11s, have decent out-board DAC and some form of a steamer for digital music listening only.

Do I go back to it or move forward, any thoughts? If forward, what would you suggest?

Thanks

OP, I was curious about your integrated.  For the peanut gallery and me, it's this: 

Your integrated received a fairly good review.  Here:

It seems like it is worth keeping based on the review; heck, the reviewer thinks your integrated is better in some ways than a Pass Labs XA30.8, which is saying a lot I think.  If you are here asking for opinions, you obviously have some curiosity about what better integrated is out there.  I think the only way you can find this out is if you read reviews through magazines, and go to a shop and listen to some goodies.  Lastly, congrats on your retirement Sir.
